November Update
It's not even the 11th and it's already been a whole month...
So we've been declared the winners of the legal case with the car but now we have to wait until the 30th November to get the bailiffs involved and actually get our money back. So we're still without a car and relying on public transport.
I have my autism assessment in January which is a whole thing because of the travel involved. I'll have to travel on the 10th to be able to get to the appointment on the 11th at 10am and it also means a hotel stay so all tips and sub money are going towards that as the travel will be over £100, the hotel is £66 per night and we aren't sure yet if it'll be one or two nights stay - it depends on travel time.
We've started sorting the garden but jfc the cost of removal is stupid high since, y'know, we have no transport to get to the dump.
So yeah...there's my November so far. Tip me here and sub to me here or here it's all very appreciated!

November Update!
Here is an update for everyone!
It’s an exciting time for the Drops of Moonlight Zine!!
Despite production delays, the Contributor Shop is now finally officially open! We expect to keep the shop open until 11:59PM PST on December 14th, 2022 to allow contributors time to reserve their physical zine copy in exchange for a discounted donation. Contributors will receive an email from us with a password and discount code allowing them to access the contributor shop. If you are a contributor, please check your email for details about how to reserve your Zine cop(ies) and reach out to us ASAP if for whatever reason you did not receive an email.
Production:
A few more samples arrived! We have now received samples or bulk orders for our sticker sheets, pins, postcards, and origami paper. Unfortunately, one of the sample sticker sheets came out faulty and one of the pins in the wrong color, so we're getting that fixed now while we wait for other still-missing samples to come in.
However, those that have arrived the way we want them look great! We are very excited about them, and we will take product pictures ASAP and share those on our social media soon!
Regarding production delays, please keep in mind that there is an ongoing paper crisis in Europe and it fully explains some of the delay our vendors have. Since the beginning of our production phase, several vendors have pulled out – some because they went bankrupt, others because they have trouble serving the high demand brought on by the crisis – and others have raised their prices immensely due to the shortage. This affected both budgeting and production, quite obviously. Budgeting because, without definitive pricing we ran the risk of miscalculating individual costs (especially for contributors, who we are not charging any surplus for their donation and instead only the bare minimum of production cost we can afford). Production, because well, obviously, but also because the vendors we are still able to work with have long waiting lines for production and we – with our one-time-only limited edition and small order (from their viewpoint) – simply aren't a high priority or ‘important’ customer. This all amounts to what's happening: stuff has been going slow, but we're seeing the light at the end of the tunnel growing steadily nearer. For our most important vendor (the physical zine itself) we have finally been allotted a production window, and are thus confident to now open the contributor shop. However, we are still waiting to receive a production slot for some smaller items.
Of course, with timing out of our hands due to reliance on vendor production schedules, we have been hesitant to make definitive statements of a delivery date when basically none of our vendors can give those to us. For consistency, we will be distributing all Zine bundles at the same time, so our digital supporters will not receive their copies until the physical bundles are shipped out. So we ask you please to be patient – we're impatient to release the Zine too, believe us.
However, please know that the project itself is NOT at risk. We are working hard to get everything finalized and ready to produce/ship out. Some of our items have already been produced and are waiting for you. It's just the question of WHEN we can go to print with the rest of the items.
Translations:
During the height of our translation phase, after extended submissions closed and everything trickled in, 3 of our original 5 English-to-Japanese translators pulled out due to valid life stuff (remember, everyone here is a volunteer) and they were not able to continue with the project.
With the review of more than 70 translated works falling on only 2.5 sets of shoulders, while we initially stayed on (delayed, please remember that we extended deadlines for you all) schedule because our translators overworked themselves like crazy, we are now lagging a bit behind because that pace simply wasn’t sustainable. Thankfully, one more person has volunteered to help, and so the translation team now has more support. We are working as fast as we can to get the translated text from all fics, essays, and doujin reviewed and ready to host on Ao3.
Communication and Layout:
We're still to this day missing a few documents and info from several people (summaries, titles, bios, etc). This is of course totally understandable – there are HUNDREDS of contributors and so this was bound to naturally happen – but after a LONG period of trying to get these from everyone and reviewing all emails and messages we have received to ensure we didn’t miss anything, we have now started to fill in the gaps ourselves where we can. However, the months of following up as well as hunting for missing information and finally writing up what we can on our own has taken a little time and delayed the lay outing of where all this info all needs to be.
However, we are THIS close to wrapping everything up in a tight bow with the project now finally close to the finish line, and are excited to share this update with you! Thank you all so much for your support and for your understanding and patience during this extended production phase. We know the delays are frustrating, and we are grateful for all of you who respect that we are balancing the completion of a massive multinational project with the lives and mental health of our volunteers. Though it may not always feel like it, please know that our moderators and translation team are working very hard to finish this special project and bring your Zine bundle to you as quickly as we can.
Please keep an eye out for those sample photos to be shared on our social media, and we hope to bring you another update soon!
--------------
Drops of Moonlight Zineより大切なお知らせです。
度重なる制作の遅れがありましたが、このたび、寄稿者向けショップが正式にオープンしました! このショップは2022年12月15日午後4時59分(日本時間)まで開設され、寄稿者の皆様が割引価格でZINEを予約できるようにする予定です。寄稿者の皆様には、ショップにアクセスするためのパスワードと割引コードを記載したメールをお送りします。各位、メールをご確認いただき、万一届かなかった場合は、速やかにご連絡ください。
制作状況について:
ストレッチゴールについては、サンプルの一部がすでに手配済みです。ステッカー、ピンズ、ポストカード、折り紙などの大量発注がかかりました。なお、ステッカーとピンズの一部に不具合があり、他のグッズの手配と並行して修正にあたっているところです。
ただ、到着したサンプルの多くは大変素晴らしい仕上がりになっています!可能な限り早く、完成品の画像を皆様にも共有する予定です。
また生産の遅れについてはご迷惑をおかけしております。ヨーロッパにおける紙不足には依然終わりが見えず、今回のプロジェクトはそのことに多大な影響を受けることとなりました。生産フローが進み始めて以降、提携していた数社が撤退しました。廃業した業者や、原材料の用意がままならなくなった業者、大幅なコスト増に見舞われた業者など、影響は広範囲に及びました。このことがプロジェクトの予算編成と生産計画を大きく揺るがすこととなりました。予算については、価格が決定できない限り、試算が困難であることは言うまでもありません(特に寄稿者向け販売分については、最低限の制作コストのみを製品代としています)。加えて、今回のZINEは一回限りの少部数の生産であることや、制作スパンが長期にわたることなどから、ベンダーからの優遇措置を受けづらかったのも事実です。このように、順調にとは言い難い状況ではありましたが、今ようやくトンネルの終わりの光が見えてきました。最も重要なZINE本体部分を担うベンダーにおいて生産枠が確保できたため、寄稿者向けショップのオープンをお約束できる運びとなりました。しかし、いくつかの付帯品等については、まだ生産枠が確保できていない状態です。
ZINEの納期はあくまでベンダー側の生産スケジュールに依存しており、各社とも明確な期日を示してくれるわけではありません。そこで、公平で一貫性のある供給方式をとるべく、すべてのZINEバンドルを同時に配布する予定です。そのため電子版を購入された方も、印刷版が発送されるまで、コンテンツの入手はできません。どうか今しばらくお待ちくださいますようお願いいたします。私たちもZINEのリリースを心待ちにしています。
しかしながら、プロジェクトそのものが危機に瀕しているわけではないことをご承知おきください。あらゆる事項の最終決定が進んでおり、生産・発送の準備にかかっています。一部のアイテムはすでに製造を終え、お手元に届けられるのを待つばかりです。その他の品物も順次、製造加工に入ります。
翻訳状況について:
翻訳作業がスタートし、作品投稿もすべて締め切られたのち、当初5名いた日本語翻訳メンバーのうち3名が生活上の理由で辞退せざるを得ませんでした。これについては、全員がボランティアである点を忘れてはなりません。
その結果、70点以上の作品をわずかな人員で翻訳校正することとなりました。当初はメンバーの多大な尽力により(作品投稿期限の延長があったにもかかわらず)順調な進捗でしたが、そのペースの維持が難しくなり、日数がかかっています。大変ありがたいことに、ボランティアでもう1名の方が加入してくださり、多くの貴重な時間を費やして支援していただけるようになりました。現在、すべての小説、エッセイ、漫画の翻訳テキストをレビューし、Ao3(二次創作投稿サイト)でホストできるように、できる限り早急に作業を進めています。
コミュニケーションと紙面制作について:
依然、いくつかの作品において、掲載に必要な情報(要約、タイトル、経歴など)が不足しています。ただ、このことは、何百という作家の皆様の作品を集約する以上、一定数はやむを得ないことです。主催チームでは、すべての寄稿者からこれらの情報提供をいただくのにかかる期間を考慮した上で、これまでに受領したすべてのメールとメッセージを見直し、情報の拾い漏れがないことを確認しました。可能な範囲で不足部分を補うよう努めましたが、前述の通り長期にわたるフォローアップやメッセージの再読み込みを行なったため期間を要し、紙面レイアウトの進捗に影響が生じています。
しかしながら、このプロジェクトもいよいよ大詰めを迎え、今回のアナウンスを皆様にお伝えできることを嬉しく思っています!長期にわたる発刊延期にもかかわらずご理解とご協力をくださった、皆様のサポートに心から御礼を申し上げます。遅延によるご不満やご迷惑は重々承知しております。私たちは、大規模な多国籍プロジェクトの完遂と、その背景を支えるボランティアメンバーのプライベートや精神的健康の維持とのバランスを図っており、そのことを尊重してくださる皆様に感謝しています。様々なご意見があることは理解していますが、この特別なプロジェクトを完成させ、可能な限り早くZINEをお届けできるよう、主催ならびに翻訳チームが懸命に善処していることをお含みおきいただけますと幸いです。
近日中に、サンプル画像を公開予定です。どうぞお楽しみに!

November
There’s too much going on, and I’ll take on a huge lot of work soon (that’s my chance to finally change my life for better and I’m scared af but very excited at the same time), but first I have to finish several other things that are due december, so… I’ve got a lot of work already.
And — it doesn’t help at all, because I’m experiencing FOMO about it — all my fav kpop groups decided to make a comebak rn. Like, they literally making releases one after another and I have no time to fully enjoy each one of them ㅠㅠ
But still, if you didn’t know about Omega X — I highly recommend to check their last album (honestly my fav track is Louder, I loved it even more than Junk food): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-hTDnRfvsI
youtube
I’ve seen Stray Kids comeback today and it’s SLAY — I wish I could learn a choreo! And Ateez are next, though I don’t know when exactly, but I’ve seen a teaser today…
And I don’t even want to think about k and thai dramas… I waited for the Middleman’s Love for several months now — and I HAVE NO TIME TO WATCH IT!!
So… that’s it, and now I’ll return to the task I had to finish today (I have no chance to do it on time)

November update...
So far 2,856..Yesterday all Seashore. This chapter is long.
for @carolrain, @jamilas-pen, @stargazer56 and @a-noble-dragon who wanted updates...no sure if I've posted it before but you are getting the beginning anyway.
David admires his brand new black nail polish sitting outside with Patrick. Patrick’s sporting his own fresh set of indigo nails.   They sit side by side in pool chairs, David on his own pool chair time, thank you very much.   The sun is making it’s way across the horizon marking a new day.  It’s incorrect to be up this early, but man does he love the view.  
“It’s so pretty here.” Patrick hums.  He’s got his little pen and pad, and he’s making a list of everything they might need at the outlet mall. 
“You’re pretty here.” David’s words come out all wrong.

okay so:
the year is 2021. the month is june. the new season of hermitcraft, season 8, has just started, and everything is great! the hermits are all messing around, having fun, building insane things within the first week of the server being active, and generally having a good time. everyone's collected themselves into little factions, pranking each other, and it's all the fun, lighthearted, mostly-vanilla content hermitcraft is known for.
and then the split between minecraft versions 1.18 and 1.19 is announced. the delay of new terrain, and especially of new mobs like the warden, considerably disrupt several of the hermits' plans. but it's fine, they'll figure something out, they're professionals, and it mostly goes unnoticed.
about two weeks later, on november 9th, grian turns to mumbo jumbo in one of his episodes, and asks the famous question that would seal hermitcraft season 8's fate:
"mumbo, is the moon... big?"
suddenly, the fans panic. they search back through videos and streams, and realize that the moon had been abnormally large and stuck in a full-moon phase since october 30th. the Moon Big event has begun.
this is where the roleplay really starts. once the moon's size has been brought up, the hermits start a weird combination of scrambling to figure out why the moon's growing, and how to stop it- but also of ignoring it, hoping it won't be a problem, hoping someone else will deal with it. the moon keeps getting bigger, more hermits start realizing it's going on, and a creeping sense of dread starts to grow. but it's fine. it's fine, right? they do little plotlines like this all the time. they'll figure something out, the moon will go back to normal, and we'll laugh about it when this is all over. it's fine.
and then, blocks start flying away. just floating up out of the ground, and falling right back down! like for a moment, a square meter chunk of dirt has decided it's a ballerina and leaped out of the ground! but it's fine, right? the blocks are coming back. no lasting harm is done. they're going to fix it all... right?
the moon gets bigger. it's growing every day- local hermit weirdguy joe hills measures it every stream. the blocks start flying higher. gravity starts getting... weird, with players getting the slow falling effect at random, and being lifted off of the earth themselves. the players form cults and rituals and whatnot to try and appease the moon, convince it to leave them alone, making plans to escape. nothing works. things keep getting worse, and the moon keeps getting bigger. but it'll be fine. these storylines never leave lasting harm, or at least they never have before. they'll be fine.
and then the blocks stop coming back, just floating into the sky forever. the players have the slow falling effect more than they don't now. the moon is now so big it's visible even during the day, and fills the entire sky at night. they start planning their escapes in earnest, and say their goodbyes. some hermits jump into a void hole in the overworld (it was the centerpiece of their village). some flee to the End, some to the nether, some just fly with elytras and hope they can get far enough away in time. one brave hermit, tango, flies himself to the moon in a futile attempt to blow the whole thing up before it can crash.
Tumblr media
but in the end, the moon crashes into the server, and everything they'd built was destroyed. and the whole time, there'd been nothing any of them could've done. season eight was over, a full six months before anyone had expected it to end, and season nine wouldn't start until about three months later. and im still not okay about it.
(here's a cool animatic of the moon's crash! honestly i dont think you need too much hermitcraft knowledge to get the gist)
(also the moon crash happened on the day before my birthday lmao.)
….
holy shit
